EA's & Xbox Top Company FAILS

So we all know the Electronic Arts had a pretty terrible 2017 at least turbo in the sense that they figured out a way to make everyone angry for Mass Effect fans the Need for Speed fans to Star Wars and so on and so forth

Microsoft on the other hand had a pretty quiet 2017 with really no big releases maybe that's the issue but Metacritic review dates, Publishers list of 2017 in there are some pretty surprising results.

Now should be noted this Metacritic ranking goes through every release they came in 2017

Including different versions of a game first of all no surprise here but Bethesda softworks top the list with an average of 79.9 with notable titles in 2017 that included prey Wolfenstein II The New Colossus and The Evil Within 2.

Overall Bethesda had a solid 2017 with making quality games otherwise of you may know the big releases in 2017 did not sell very well which is disappointing seeing that these are among some of the best single-player experience is out there

Being someone who finally got around to playing pray I highly recommended I was surprised to see that the game felt a lot like a Bioshock title and a story really is just smart and left me shocked at how it all ended

Now right behind Bethesda softworks is Nintendo with a 78 who obviously had a great 2017 with the launch of the Nintendo switch they also had great games including Legend of Zelda breath of the wild and Super Mario Odyssey.

But they did have some stinkers anything that was really with them trying to make sure that the switch had enough games at lunch which is probably why they missed out on that top spot going down until you realize the companies that are missing from the top 12 worst Metacritic ranks them as the major publishers can see on the screen this is the top 12 of Bethesdas.

Suffix of a top and Telltale Games rounding out the top 12 and probably the biggest emissions is Electronic Arts and Xbox or Microsoft game studios Electronic Arts is in 5th place on this mid-size publisher ranking with a 73.2 metacritic's description of what happened with it is that they normally Lands an major publisher list a year ago and factors ranked number 1 on that list but a decrease release laid in 2017 light with the emotion tour midsize Publishers chart.

Peeking of decreases EA's Metascore average fella precipitously last year in the Publishers rate of critically approve games plunge from 79% to just 48% Metacritic users meanwhile trashed almost all of EA's releases.

Companies many 2017 disappointments included Need for Speed payback and Star Wars Battlefront 2 EA space game last year FIFA 18 and FIFA is your best game that may show that there's a quality problem.

Overall 2017 was just a mess for electronic arts.

But other game quality has gone down they still managed to have a highly successful Financial year bringing in millions of dollars thanks to microtransaction today so you should save billions of dollars in millions.

But other than Electronic Arts in even bigger surprise is the Xbox team and how far down the list they are at a 12 spot Microsoft game studios ranked with a 72 Metacritic. And Microsoft dropped 10 places.

Every year ago and still do lunch any promising new properties in 2017 though the company did release some high scoring titles even that group looks Tail as it included a few Forza Racers and yet another Port of Minecraft for the switch.

We talked about it before but Microsoft needs to commit more to first-party games these last few years and specifically 2017 show that they have a games and quality problem that you knew I peas that they tried to launch in the last few years require Quantum break both were failures.

Buckley Microsoft has had some success with Indie games are they really have been writing their success on the older franchises like Forza Gears of War and Halo.

2018 looks like it should be a better year and there have been some leaks that show Microsoft is actively working to get better with their first party games either way when Adult Swim is ranked better than Microsoft at making games that should be an indication that thing does need to be improved.

But some other notable companies on this midsize list includes take-two interactive with a 72.8 of the 9 spot obviously they're big game of 2017 was supposed to be Red Dead Redemption 2 but that was delayed and their biggest game of 2017 ended up being NBA 2K18..... :(

In which was many reviewers noted was a microtransaction mess Warner Brothers interactive is also on this list with a 73.7 at the 4 spot and all the way in last place at the 26 spot is maximum games what a horrid 45.8

Either way it's very clear that microtransactions have really put a damper on Gamers that cannot afford to pay for extra content..

Me personally I'm on the fence about microtransactions.

But I will say that when you have to pay money in order to beat the game or have a chance against other players in online play that seems wrong to me.
